Report: Wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. on the trade block

While many are unhappy the Dolphins could lose Jason Taylor to the Jets, Bill Parcells and Co. could win some points with fans if the team can finding a trading partner for Ted Ginn Jr.

The NFL Network’s Jason LaCanfora reports on his Twitter account the Dolphins are shopping Ginn.

Ginn’s dropped passes (see video, if you can bear it) and tendency to run out of bounds to avoid contact may have worn out his welcome in Miami, despite his world-class speed and threat as a kickoff returner.

It’s hard to imagine someone willing to part with a draft pick of much value for Ginn, though he did become the first NFL player with two 100-yard TDs in a game (Nov. 1 at Jets) and caught the ball much better during the season’s second half.

“I think if they can get something for him, he’s probably a guy they would rather do without,” said former NFL receiver and ESPN analyst Keyshawn Johnson, who played for Bill Parcells with the Jets and Cowboys. “I don’t know, I haven’t really been talking to Bill about it.

“I just know based on the past that this is a real problem: dropping balls, not looking like a football player. It may be something he has put on himself.”

Expected to break out in his third NFL season, Ginn had 38 catches, 454 yards and one touchdown. He also was among the league leaders with eight dropped passes.

In three seasons since he was the No. 9 pick in the 2007 draft, Ginn has five touchdown catches and 10 total TDs.

Ginn’s production has not come close to matching his potential, while his mistakes and timid play are the antithesis of the players Tony Sparano wants on his team.

“Bottom line he was drafted too high and he’s not giving him what he should for his draft status, so it’s time to maybe move him,” Johnson said. “You can’t get what you need, so maybe he goes to the Baltimore Ravens. They drafted him, the offensive coordinator (Cam Cameron).”
